Abstract: |
It aims to improve the recognition of the icons in the washing machine interface for the elderly with different cultural levels, and reduce the possibility of confusion among the interface icons. First, the washing machine interface with 24 icons is used as the experimental sample. Then 44 elder were invited to carry out the matching of icons and meanings. Finally, confusion matrix is used to analyze the concentration range and cause of confusion. It indicates that low educated elderly people tend to misunderstand the meaning of the icon, and many confused icons need to be reviewed and redesigned. several principles are presented about icon design for elder, such as image of an icon and its semantic meaning should be closely related, abbreviations should be limited as much as possible, and avoid using abstract symbol to indicate new functions, series icons visual effect should not be similar and so on. |
